Charles Lamb - Beauty's Song

Charles Lamb - Beauty's Song

What's Life still changing ev'ry hour? br Tis all the seasons in a Day! br The Smile, the Tear, the Sun, the Show'r' br Tis now December, now tis May br At morn we hail some envied Queen; br At eve she sinks some Cottage guest; br Yet if contentment gilds the scene br Contentment makes the Cottage blest. br br br Who more than I, this truth can feel? br I feel it yet am charm'd to find br While thus I turn the spinning-wheel br The station humbles not the mind. br Ah no! in days of youth and health br Nature will smile tho' fortune frown br Be this my song Content is wealth' br And duty ev'ry toil shall crown.
